IGN: Klonoa Impressions

Klonoa was an impressive platformer when it arrived on the PlayStation in 1997, and IGN rated it an 8. Fans of the franchise and genre should be excited -- this Wiimake feels good like a platformer should.

This is one of those 2.5D affairs, meaning everything is rendered in three dimensions but player movement is restricted to the left/right 2D plane. The original was one of the first games to do 2.5D really well. But there is lots of impressive "depth of field" stuff going on around Klonoa as he runs about doing his platforming.
